prcd PRA RESULTS

We are pleased to announce that the DNA research into the Finnish Lapphund PRA gene, started at Cambridge University in 2000, has culminated in a gene test that is now available at Optigen USA.

The gene identified is the prcd-PRA (progressive rod cone degeneration) already identified in several other breeds, for which a direct gene mutation test was developed by Optigen in June 2005.

Results of the gene test on the dogs used for the research have been released and those with permission from UK owners to publish are listed below. Details of how to get your dog tested can be found on the Optigen website. http://www.optigen.com/opt9_test_pra_finlapphund.html

Any further help required on clinics and submitting blood samples, please contact club secretary Irene Green info@finnishlapphund-club.co.uk .
